powerpc/perf: Invoke per-CPU variable access with disabled interrupts
commit f66de7ac4849eb42a7b18e26b8ee49e08130fd27 upstream.
The power_pmu_event_init() callback access per-cpu variable
(cpu_hw_events) to check for event constraints and Branch Stack
(BHRB). Current usage is to disable preemption when accessing the
per-cpu variable, but this does not prevent timer callback from
interrupting event_init. Fix this by using 'local_irq_save/restore'
to make sure the code path is invoked with disabled interrupts.
This change is tested in mambo simulator to ensure that, if a timer
interrupt comes in during the per-cpu access in event_init, it will be
soft masked and replayed later. For testing purpose, introduced a
udelay() in power_pmu_event_init() to make sure a timer interrupt arrives
while in per-cpu variable access code between local_irq_save/resore.
As expected the timer interrupt was replayed later during local_irq_restore
called from power_pmu_event_init. This was confirmed by adding
breakpoint in mambo and checking the backtrace when timer_interrupt
was hit.
